I have John S Savage on 1830 census of Edgefield. I think John was born 1800 in Edgefield District. I have tried desperately to tie him to the other Savages listed in Edgefield with no success. I anyone comes upon any Savages in the household of non Savages please send it to me.

I have been told that she may have married 2nd, John Randall. Did they marry or not. The Oct 19, 1919 Confederate Pension Application #3597, Mrs. Annie Randall, widow of Seaborn Randall states that he enlisted in Co. A., 19th Regiment of SCV under Capt. Elijah Horn on the 27th of Nov, 1861 and served until he was killed on Sept 20, 1863. They married in 1859. She had been on the Class 5-3 pension roll. Annie Randall states that she has no property or income and is 80 years old, residing near Johnston, Edgefield Co, SC where she has lived all her life. Maybe she did like folks today with SS. Don't marry so you don't lose benefits. Not trying to insult desc., I just cannot find any record of a 2nd marriage. Would appreciate knowing the father of the children born after 1862. As far as I can tell, Lawrence Randall is the only child of Seaborn. ---------------------------------------------------------------- 1927 - Death Cert. #20475, Greenwood Co, SC J. P.

My ancestor Alexander Oden live in Edgefield, South Carolina from about 1770 to just before 1820. He is mentioned in the book, South Carolina Roster on page 738, and in another book of Revolutionary War Patriots from South Carolina. Roster says, "He served in the militia before and after the fall of Charleston. A.A.5602; T593." A previous researcher supposedly found a pension application written by his widow that stated he was born in Frederick, Maryland in 1752. Another researcher recently looked for this application among the pension records in the National Archives and found nothing. In the 1830's when this application was supposedly made the Odens lived in Autauga County, Alabama. Would this mythical pension application have been made to South Carolina, or to Alabama? If it was made to South Carolina, can someone please tell me if those records can be accessed on-line. Thanks, Marleen Van Horne

July 1871, Edgefield, SC father: Thos. Butler, Edgefield Co, SC mother: Alsey Burnett, Edgefield Co, SC d. Feb. 4, 1917, Newberry Co, SC cause: chronic myocarditis informant: E. Leopard, Newberry, SC buried: West End Cem., [Newberry Co, SC] UT: R. Leavell & son, Newberry, SC Nothing in the Newberry Cem. Book mentions her being the wife of Ephraim Leopard. She is listed in order with him, as is anInfant d/o D. P. and Cleo Leopard 10/18/1916 - 10/19/1916 and James John Leopard 12-9-1896 - 9/1/1918 who per census records seems to be a son of Ephraim. Since she is buried with Ephriam Leopard in the West End Cem., Newberry Co, SC, I am presuming that she is Rodianna Leopard of the 1900 census wife of Ephraim Leopard, who is probably the informant on her death cert. The 1900 Saluda Co. census says md. 11 yrs (ca 1889). ----------------------------------------------------- 1936 - Death Cert. #2996, Saluda Co, SC Ephraim Leopard Male, white, md.

I am not that familiar with Newberry cemeteries. Rosemont I have heard of as one of my daughter's in law has family buried there. ------------------------------------------------------------- 1946 - Death Cert #8346 Greenwood Co, SC Mrs. Sallie Watson Leopard Female, White, widow Resided: (803/303) Lindsey St. b. Oct 20, 1872, Edgefield Co, SC father: Charles (Hart), Edgefield Co, SC mother: (Amanda Rauton), Edgefield Co, SC d. July 7, 1946, Greenwood, Greenwood Co, SC cause: cerebral hemorrhage informant: Eva (Williams), Greenwood, SC buried: (Good Hope B. Cy) UT: (Blyth's, Greenwood, SC) Some of the info. was difficult to read, but being familiar with the area and names, I am 99.9% sure that it is correct, except for the house #. Can't verify that. Her cem. records transcribed in the Good Hope Cem, has her date of birth as 187[4]. Evidently it was difficult to read. I am therefore using the date on the death certificate of 1872. Sally Hart married 1) Allen Watson 2) Ephraim Leopard. She had children by Allen Watson, but I don't have any by Ephraim Leopard, and I don't know when they married. Have requested some help with the 1930 census, as I cannot get that one from home. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1946 - Death Cert. #9948, Saluda Co, SC Mrs. Susie Savannah Leopard Female, White, widow Resided Ninety Six RFD#1, Saluda Co, SC b.

She is the wife of James Johnson Leopard, son of Hettie A. 'Shady' Butler & Benjamin D. Leopard. She and her husband are buried in Good Hope Baptist church cem, Saluda Co, SC.

Aug 31 1893 - Jan 24 1984 I have worked from several directions, trying to figure out where she belongs, and I have come to the conclusion that she is the Bunah Butler listed as the oldest daughter in the HH of James Pickney Butler and Rhoda Susan Waits in the 1880 Census: Edgefield Co, SC, Cooper township, p. 133D, age 12. [Source: FHL Film 1255228 National Archives Film T9-1228] They had a son James Ira Butler, and note the informant on her death cert. was Mrs. James Ira Leopard and he and possibly his wife are buried with Susie and James Leopard at Good Hope. Now I am not sure again..... trying to find Susie Savannah in 1870 as a 2 year old, the Pinkney I thought was her father was age 21 and still in the hh of his father in 1870??? Randall Frye sent the following several years ago regarding his "Uncle Pinkney" From 1920 Saluda County Court records we find the estate of James Pinckney Butler who my grandmother (Katie Waites Frye 1906-2002) recalled visiting when he was ill just prior to his death. Heirs listed are: Wife-Nancy (Nancy Ann "Nannie" Waits) [2nd wife?] Children-Bettie and Fannie Sister-in-law-Jessie Rotton *Susan Leopard, Rachel Morse, Iry (Ira) Butler, Mattie Butler, Mary Bulter, Julia Bulter, Ned Butler, Alvin Butler and Clara Row. (I assume that some of the above might be children by Rhody Waits and some by the second marriage to Nancy Ann Waits) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Randy, I also have Carrie Leopard Burnett's DC and comments as follows: 1944 - Death Certificate # 16675, Saluda Co, SC Mrs. Carrie Burnett White, Female, housewife, married to Butler Burnett b. Oct 18, 1876, SC father: Ben Leopard, SC mother: Miss Hettie Butler, SC d.

Records from HC Ouzts gives the same information. She is buried beside her husband Butler Burnett and a Claude Burnett Sep 12, 1904 - Dec 26, 1931, possibly a son. The obituary of her daughter Dyzree Burnett Butler, d. March 13, 2004, Aiken Co., SC as sent to me by Dr. Connie McNeill names her Carrie Lee Leopard Burnett. No mention of the middle name Elizabeth, which is on her tombstone but not in the obit. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can someone tell me how to get a copy of the cemetery book that contains transcriptions for Good Hope Baptist Cemetery? Thanks so much, Nancy Stewart nancytex@wt.net

Billie, The Catherine mentioned in the 1880 census for Washinton Butler is actually Nancy Jane McClung's mother, born 7-7-1832 died 5-12-1888. The census for the age is close and I believe this to be who the census in refering to. I looked at this census in 1880 and it is hard to read, but I can make see that Washington is listed there as Wash Butler married to Jane. My father, Horace Reed Butler who is the grandson of Washington Butler always refered to him as Wash Butler. Also, I noticed that Mire J. Butler is living next door to Wash Butler in 1880.

She predeceased her father and the children are heirs, listed in Mire Butler's will [Will of Mire J. Butler, July 19, 1886, Box 116 Pkg 4747, Proven January 29, 1888, Edgefield Co, SC] The will states: ...." to my Grand Children, the Heirs of my daughter Nancy L. Rushton Deceased, in money Ten Dollars to be equally divided amongst the said grand children...." The distribution shows the following payments: Pd. H. P. Rushton his distributive share in the above estate - $2.00 By amt paid Lucinda Cockrell, Larkin Rushton, Willie M. Rushton Tillman Rushton and J. D. Rushton their distributive share in full of said estate $8.00 I have her as Nancy C. Butler from census records. The transcriber of the will has Nancy L. Possibly her middle name was Leopard, or Lucinda, which was her mother's name. Maybe her mother was a Leopard, as I do not have a maiden name for Lucinda. **Does anyone know Lucinda's name, wife of Mire Butler b. ca 1815 who died Jan 23, 1888. From Census records Lucinda Unknown Butler was born in 1810. I have seen a 2nd wife mentioned, 2.

Obituary of Winnie Bledsoe Adams, published Jan 22, 2007, The State, Columbia, SC SALUDA - Winnie Bledsoe Adams, 93, widow of Earl W. Adams, went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Saturday, January 20th, in Saluda Nursing Center. She is survived by three sons and daughters-in-law, James Virgil and Joyce Adams of Chapin, Wyman and Edna Adams of Saluda, Brooks and Ginger Adams of West Columbia; and six daughters and sons-in-law, Betty and Bob Ausnehmer of Aiken, Joyce and Dewey Brown, Judy and Marion Frye, all of Leesville, Shelby Jean Grice of West Columbia, Margaret and Bill Williams of Chapin and Rita Malyerck of Ballentine. She is also survived by 22 grandchildren and 32 great-grandchildren, and one brother and sister-in-law, Perry and Mae Bledsoe of Saluda. She was predeceased by four sisters, four brothers and one great-grandchild, Noah Baghdady. A memorial service will be held Tuesday afternoon, January 23rd, at 4 p.m. at Milton Shealy Funeral Home Chapel conducted by Rev. Tina Thomas and Rev. Wayne Smith with visitation after the service until 7:00 p.m. Interment will be Wednesday at 11:00 a.m. in Mayson Cemetery across from Good Hope Baptist Church of Saluda conducted by her grandson, Matt Kimak. Mrs. Adams was born in Saluda, daughter of the late Berryman and Cora Elizabeth Bledsoe. She was a member of Gassaway United Methodist Church and she was very faithful to her church, serving in various roles, and singing in the choir until her hospitalization a year ago. She was a blessing to many and was blessed by many. The family appreciates the kind, loving care extended to her by her "favorite doctor," Dr. Ralph Riley, and his staff and the staff of Saluda Nursing Center. We are thankful for everyone who shared time and love with Mama, especially Laurie Ann Vaughn, her niece and her fishing buddy. And to Eland and Jan Chapman, Melvin, Colleen, George and Kathy Deloache, and Rev. Tina Thomas, who brightened her days with their visits, and Mama's grandson, Brock Adams, who devoted so much of his time and attention before and during her nursing home stay. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to Gassaway United Methodist Church c/o Melvin Deloache, 140 Simmons Road, Saluda, SC 29138. Milton Shealy Funeral Home of Batesburg-Leesville is assisting the family with arrangements. In looking at my files, I have her as the daughter of 1 John B. Bledsoe b: Abt. 1872 in SC .. +Unknown d: Bef. 1930 ..... 2 Earl Bledsoe b: Abt. 1899 in SC ......... +Maggie Unknown b: Abt. 1904 in SC m: Abt. 1930 ..... 2 Rhett Bledsoe b: Abt. 1910 in SC ..... 2 Winnie Bledsoe b: Abt. 1912 in SC ..... 2 Perry Bledsoe b: Abt. 1914 in SC The fact that she is survived by a brother Perry Bledsoe seems to confirm this. Now I know the mother and you can add her desc. to your excel file. Billie
